Global Convenings

Every other year, the ACSJL hosts a global event, With/Out-¿Borders?, which invites social justice leaders from across the world to Kalamazoo College to rest, reflect, build relationships, and be honored for their work. The purpose of these global convenings is to 1) bring together grassroots activists from across the globe who envision a world free from oppression and are actively working towards that vision; 2) create an environment where these activists can learn from and support each other; 3) develop deep and meaningful relationship between the Kalamazoo College community and these activists and their work; 4) deploy resources of the ACSJL to uplift and strengthen the work of each participant, living into its mission of capacity-building on a global level. Essentially, the gathering brings together activists whose work envisions an imaginative, robust, plentiful, and just future.

The next With/Out - ¿Borders? will take place in October 2020. Learn more about our With/Out - ¿Borders? Gatherings in 2018, 2016, and 2014.
